The incredible sport of cup stacking, explained

[MrJS]

how the hell do u coach this? "go faster..ok good...now go faster"

[Axelsypkenssmit]

why is there a distinction between stacking for man and woman?

Imagine convincing your parents to let you to stack cups with grown men in a church basement

We ran into a lot of amazing sport stacking channels while researching this video — here's a few:

Zhewei Wu: Awesome stacking, including a lot of big names. Includes GoPro Stacking!

William Orrell: The lion of Carolina (OK, we made that up). But he is almost certainly the top U.S. Stacker, and he has awesome cups.

Hyeon Jong Choi: Vox is US-based, but stacking is international. Hyeon Jong Choi is an amazing South Korean stacker who's also younger than the ones we featured (which is common in the sport).

Josh Hainsel: The new 3-6-3 record holder!

WSSA: The active channel of the sport itself.

Again, this is just a very small list and we'd love to know what we missed.

Lol believe it or not, but we spent a month doing this in gym class .. A piece of advice: don't do this with metal cups

[cros]

"hours and hours of practice"

lmao that's a HUGE understatement

As a cuber, I’ve always thought of sport stacking as pointless, but this video makes it seem as sophisticated as cubing.

[marisabel]

there's a male and female stacking championship? Why? Why not just mix? Its just....Stacking

[sparkysparkyboomman]

I think they should improve their f2l look ahead

[GeneralGoldChannel]

Can we have a sport where I knock these down

[ahdoah]

These are the best videos that Vox are known for.
Not the political bias covering which caused them to lose credibility

I'm sorry, but bottomless cups are not cups, they are glorified tubes which are narrower at one end. Real cups are capable of containing drinks too which is what cups are meant for in the first place.

John: Hey man, you wanna catch a movie tonight?
Steve: Nah, I'm gonna stay home and stack cups.

when the aliens come, some will be watching concert pianists and gymnasts, but most will be watching these sport stackers!👽🖖

This is what I love about Youtube in general and Vox in particular: 10 minutes ago I had no idea this even existed, and now I'm captivated. Thanks!

To people saying it's a useless talent, isn't every hobby technically a useless talent?

[cupfulofeathers]

I've always found this sport fascinating! I remember seeing infomercials in the mid-2000's (when I was a preteen) selling cups. A few friends bought some and we played with them. It wasn't long before we moved on from the fad, but I never forgot about them. All these years later, I'm glad to see cup stacking is alive and well!

[geraldndungu]

Lots of ugly comments here, I for one am truly blown away, wow by this level of technique, crazy.

[itshitime]

so this is a sport meanwhile esports are still be bashed

[robertli]

I remember a long time ago in 4th grade where the PE teacher actually announce us to the sport and made us practice it. We would be graded on it and everything. But in my mind I was just like, is this really a sport?
